Michelle Brasier's AVERAGE BEAR Announced At Soho Theatre, 6- 11 March 2023
Average Bear yo-yos between grief and joy whilst reminding audiences that life is that life is too long to 'to take seriously and it's far too short to waste.

After sell-out runs across Australia and at the Edinburgh Festival, award-winning comedian, singer, and actor, Michelle Brasier (as seen on Aunty Donna's Big Ol' House of Fun) is delighted to bring her Melbourne International; Comedy Festival Award nominated, critically acclaimed show to Soho Theatre from Mon 6 - Sat 11 Mar 2023.
If you knew you had less time than the average bear - how would you spend it?
Average Bear is comedy, but it's also heartbreaking as Michelle intertwines music and humour with the stark reality of living in the shadows of a hereditary and life-shortening illness, one that has already brought tragedy to members of her family. Michelle is here for a good time, but she does not know if she's here for a long time. And the odds are not in her favour.
Poignant and hilarious, Michelle tells her story, whilst simultaneously weaving in the fictional story of Average, a bear with a problematic fear of hibernation.
